I always love movies like this, but they usually profile white, middle class kids, which is such a small segment of American teens. I understand budget and travel issues, but I think it would be more telling to include students of different races and classes.

When I first saw this I didn't think it looked very good at the beginning, but then by the ending of the trailer where they play happy music I was hooked. Basically any trailer that uses happy music or a song by the Cure will guarantee that I see the movie.

Yes, I can't wait to see it. I got a post card in the mail about the premier at Lincoln Plaza. The teens themselves were there to answer questions. I could not go but I bet it was fascinating. I love that stuff. I just watched a docu called "Country Boys" that follows two boys through high school in a rural depressed appalacian town in Kentucky. It was really interesting and surprising. We're really lucky.

Wow, that one really looks rad. I remember watching The Breakfast Club maybe three years ago, when I was in high school. And I was so happy, because I felt like the misfit-character then, but while watching the movie I realized: "uh, actually I think Alley Sheedy is the neatest one of them". And it made me feel like it was all-right to be like that.So yay for high school movies with lots of identification-possibilities.
